Provo Craft Tools

• Knifty Knitter X-large Round Loom (yellow)
• Knifty Knitter Pom-Pom Maker

Skill level: Advanced

Step 1: Hold one strand of each yarn together (treating them as one strand) to knit project.
Step 2: Using the yellow long loom, e wrap every other peg until you have gone all the way around the loom. You will be knitting on these pegs for the entire project.
Step 3: Put the second row of stitches on and knit to the end. Wind the yarn back 3 stitches and knit these (this will hold the yarn so it does not come undone). Now take the turning peg loop and put it on the peg next to the end peg. Knit the bottom loop over it. This is the decrease stitch.
Note: The pattern is knit in a slant by decreasing on one side and adding a stitch on the other side.
Step 4: Wrap the rest of the row. When you have returned to the beginning end, wrap the last stitch and skip the next peg. Turn around the peg that was deleted at the first of the row. This is the increase stitch.
Step 5: Continue knitting, decreasing on the one end and increasing on the other, for 45 rows. Place a marker here on both ends. You can use knitting stitch markers or safety pins, or tie a piece of contrasting yarn.
Step 6: Knit even on the stitches for 22 rows. Put markers on both of these ends.
Step 7: Starting on row 23, knit the first 3 stitches and decrease the first stitch. Knit to the end of this row, and wrap and add onto the peg that you decreased off at the beginning of row. Continue knitting, increasing and decreasing, for 45 rows.
Step 8: Take the project from the loom by using a crochet hook and single crocheting the loops from the pegs.
Step 9: Make 6 tassels using the Pom-Pom Maker. Place the pegs in the two holes that are the farthest apart. Wrap the pegs 20 times using the Micro Spun yarn. Tie the tassel and sew to the 6 x marks on the diagram.

SUPPLIES

Provo Craft Tools

• Long Blue Loom
• Knifty Knitter Extra large Round Loom (yellow)
• hook
• yarn needle

Other Supplies

• crochet hook size I
• 4 skeins of Lion Brand Wool-Ease thick and quick large (if you want your poncho longer, add 2 stitches per 1" of extra length you want)

Skill level: Beginner

Step 1: Cast on, or e wrap, 42 pegs on the blue loom.

Step 2: Knit 2 panels that are 33" long (they will be 20" wide). This is equivalent to about 110 rows in each panel.

Step 3: Sew panels together as shown in diagram. Leave about 22 loops on each side of both panels for the neck. Slip the knitting through the center of the yellow loom, and slip the stitches on the pegs to the yellow loom. Knit 9 rows.

Step 4: Using a crochet hook, do a single crochet around the outside edge and around the neck piece. Here is the poncho knitted by Jeannette Miles using Bernat Softee Chunky yarn, which is weight 5. Isn't it gorgeous!

V Neck Sweater

1. This a women's size large X-large

2. Body: using both yarns together wrap all of the pegs (41) and knit a flat piece until it is 17" long. Take the piece off of the loom by crocheting a single crochet in the first loop and continue to the next peg and crochet very loose, so that it does not pull up the knitted piece. You will need to make 2 pieces; one for body front and one for back.

3. Sleeves: using both yarns together wrap all of the pegs (41) and knit a two flat pieces until they are 12" long.

4. Construction: lay the front and back pieces together side to side. Put the binding off ends to the top. Sew with a yarn needle and one strand of yarn (the knitting worsted yarn is best) the side seams. See instruction diagram.

5. Mark the center front and back. Sew the sleeves from the centers to the under arm seam. See diagram. Put the bind off sides to the neck (these ends are a little more secure). Do a simple single crochet stitch around all of the outer edges, using one strand of the knitting worsted yarn.

Backpack

Instructions

1. Using the yellow loom and using only one strand of yarn, wrap loom as picture shows. (Diagram #1)

2. Thread a yarn needle and starting as close to the center as possible, start to weave over and under, every 2 threads. (Diagram #2)

3. As you go around, you are weaving on an odd number of pegs (41 pegs). When you get back to the starting point, you will be going opposite over and under. (If you went over the first time you will be going under this row.)

4. Continue until you have as many rows as you can weave on the loom. It needs to be tight, but not too tight.

5. Leave the loops on the loom and wrap one more row on the loom. Knit the bottom loops over and continue knitting until your bag measures 17" or 55 rows of knitting. Crochet the loops from the loom loosely.

6. If you have to add yarn, be sure that you tie the new piece or pieces on inside the bag.

7. Measure 3 pieces of yarn 6' long and braid for the tie closer. Count down from the top of the bag 5 rows. Now weave the long braided piece in and out of the rows of knitting.

8. Using leather strips, braid them together and hook on to the bag as shown in diagram #3. Add your favorite possessions and you are on your way.

Short Shrug

Instructions

1. Body of shrug: Using 2 strands of yarn, wrap around the peg on the outside of the loom, leaving about 3 to 4 inches of tail hanging from the tack. This is your starting point.

2. Wrap the yarn counter clock wise around each peg, traveling in a clockwise direction; reverse on the last peg and wrap back to the first peg. Hold the loom so you are looking at the tack and the pegs are pointing upward.

3. Now using the hook tool, pick up the bottom loop or wrap of yarn and take over the top loop.

4. Wrap and knit until you have the length you would like for your shrug. To determine the size of the shrug, measure from your elbow, across the shoulders, and back to the elbow, for the main part of the shrug.

5. Removing: With a crochet hook, take the first loop from the peg and crochet, using the wrapping yarn through the loop.

6. Do a single crochet (wrap the yarn over the hook and draw the yarn through the loop on the hook) in between each of the loops on the pegs.

7. Cut the yarn attached and pull it all the way through the loop on the crochet hook. Pull it tight for a complete knot.

8. Cuff: Use the small loom (blue). Wrap completely around the loom and knit a circle for the cuff the length you would desire. Remove with a crochet hook the same as for the body of the shrug. You will need 2 of these. (Make sure they are the same size.)

9. Completion: Turn your shrug wrong-side out and using your same yarn, crochet both sides together to your desired length for the arms. Leave the ends open for your cuffs.

10. Turn the cuffs wrong side and crochet to the shrug. Seams may be pressed with steam from an iron, but DO NOT LET IRON TOUCH the shrug. Hand wash gentle.

Multi Colored Shawl

Instructions

1. This project can be as crazy as you want to go. You could use multiple colors or stay in the same color family. I'm always a little scared to try really far out combinations, but when I do, I really get a lot of comments.

2. Cut yarn in 3 yard pieces and arrange into the pattern of your choice. Each piece of yarn will make 2 rows of knitting.

3. First row: Using 2 of the 36" pieces of yarn, measure 18" of yarn and wrap around the peg on the outside of the loom. Wrap the last peg on the loom and turn around and go back to the first peg. Knit this row. There should be a 18" piece left on the end for the fringe.

4. Using the yarn of choice measure 18" and wrap around the peg on the outside and wrap the pegs. Knit and wrap back to the first peg. After the rows are started you can unwrap the yarn from the peg on the side of the loom.

5. After you have knit several rows you can go to the starting end and tie the 4 ends in a square knot. I used 2 strands of knitting worsted and one strand of knitting worsted and one strand of fun fur to knit together.

6. To take off of the loom cut the yarn pieces longer, measure off the 18" fringe piece and wrap and knit. When you have turned to go back, using the yarn single crochet the looms from the loom. You will need to crochet this side off very loose. Try to do both sides the same, tension.

7. The sample is 45" long, (you can make it as long as you would like). When you have done this shawl you will have the fringe finished too. Is that not great.

8. I made a square braid rope to hold the 2 corner together. Using 2 strands of the one main color, wrap 2 of the pegs on the loom in a figure 8 design knitting over the bottom loop when you have 2 loops on the pegs.

9. I knit this 15" long and tied on a tassel that is 6'? long. Thread the rope part of the knitting through the front corner of the shawl and sew on the corner of the back corner side of the shawl.

Fuzzy Shrug

Instructions

1. You will be using the yellow round loom and 2 yarns - 1 Fun Fur and 1 Sparkle. If you decide to make a different colored shrug, use a yarn that coordinates with the fun fur.

2. E wrap the full loom with the 2 yarns, turning on the last peg and coming back to the first peg. Continue wrapping and knitting until you have 6 inches of knitting.

3. Like doing the brim on the hats, reach inside the loom and put the stitches from the first row over the pegs to form the cuff. Knit off this row. You will also have to stitch the sides together to make the cuff.

4. Change to the coordinating yarn and cutting the fun fur off, continue knitting until you have the desired length. Measure across your shoulders and consider that you have 3'? cuffs on the ends.

5. When you have knitted the desired length, add your fun fur back and discontinue one of the coordinating threads. Using both of the yarns knit the cuff for this end of the shrug. (This will be the brim for the second sleeve). Take the knitting off of the loom using the crochet hook and using single crochet Take the end of your sleeve and fold it and stitch it closed with the yarn to match the first sleeve end. Wash by hand.

The smallest pumpkin in the photo was done on the 5 inch blue round Knifty Knitter loom. The red, green and yellow looms can also be used to make larger jack-o-lanterns. This makes a cute fall craft, or paired with the spider pattern it’s perfect for Halloween.

Candy Corn Hat

Black Spider for the Yellow Loom

Instructions

1. Body: Knit 25 rows in the round as you would for a hat, using 2 strands of yarn (leave a long tail on the winding peg to use in sewing up the bottom of the spider body).

2. Take the knit off the loom as you would a hat (take a 25 inch piece of yarn and thread it through top and bottom to remove from loom). Put stuffing in while still on the loom.

3. Legs: Make 8. Using the yellow loom, knit back and forth on 8 pegs for 47 rows and leave a long piece of yarn on the winding peg to sew up the legs. Take each leg off the loom as you would a hat. Fold legs horizontally and sew up

4. Take each leg, fold in half, then whip stitch for a fold or bend in the leg. Turn spider over and sew four legs on each side.

5. Hot glue two large wiggly eyes on top of spider near the front. (Use the size eyes you like, spiders have small eyes, but larger eyes show up better)

6. Note from Clella: This spider would be way cute if you used one strand of fun fur to make it hairy. Sit Samuel in the pumpkin patch of knitted pumpkins from our web-site here at Provo Craft. Have a Happy Halloween!
